Not quite. These days the tickets are scanned for validity. In this case, so long as block chain continues to exist, it could be a way to cut out Ticketmaster and other centralized distributors. You don’t need two central authorities (Ticketmaster and the venue) — only the venue.

Yes quite? Who cares if the tickets are scanned? My point is that the person who controls the door (or employs the person who controls the door) chooses what to do with the information that gets scanned. They can choose to use whatever they want.

Blockchain does literally nothing here. It literally doesn't do anything that a server doesn't do. It guarantees you nothing. It enforces nothing. At any time, the venue can simply choose to or not to let whomever in, however they want - they are in complete control.

But if they didn’t let you in and you had a legit ticket, could you not take them to court and win?

Yes, but that is precisely my point: it's the law, the government, the court, etc. that is important. The underlying thing that "says" you did something is irrelevant. The court will decide, not the blockchain. It might as well be any ledger technology whatsoever.

But if say the Supreme Court had decided that NFTs constituted valid tickets, then you’d win your own little case of entry-denied for certain, right?

No more so than if you just had a regular contract. Courts don't give a shit what form a contract is, they care about reviewing the contract in light of applicable law. Was any party under duress? Does any part of the contract violate State or Federal law? Is it severable? etc.

I will give you a simple example from your hypothetical. The venue rules say no one admitted unless they are wearing proper attire. They refuse to let you in despite your valid NFT ticket. You claim your attire was proper. They claim it was not.

HELP ME, BLOCKCHAIN! SAVE THE DAY! Oh wait, it cannot, because it has literally no way of helping with anything like this.

Mostly I just think people who are into crypto have never seen the legal system. They don't understand that 99% of all disputes have absolutely no disagreement about whether payment was made. It is like a total non issue.

In the vast, vast majority of cases, _nobody_ disagrees about whether payment was made. They disagree about something else that happened after the payment.
